  7. Mythical allusions PROMETHEUS was the Titan god of forethought and crafty counsel who was entrusted with the task of molding mankind out of clay.

  8. His attempts to better the lives of his creation brought him into direct conflict with Zeus. Firstly he tricked the gods out of the best portion of the sacrificial feast, acquiring the meat for the feasting of man. Then, when Zeus withheld fire, he stole it from heaven and delivered it to mortal kind hidden inside a fennel-stalk.

  9. Zeus F*#$@#% you Prometheus, you %^)@*$$^!!! I’m stealing fire for the humans!!! YAY!!! Prometheus

  10. Prometheus was arrested and bound to a stake on Mount Kaukasos where an eagle was set to feed upon his ever-regenerating liver (or, some say, heart).
